Lyrics

It was the winter of his life
The best things he'd lost
He'd always worked so hard
But he'd always been bossed
The music was loud
To the others around
But he couldn't hear
Or utter a sound
They said hey boy
Quit loafing about
You've got work to do boy
We won't help you out
What's that tear boy
I can't help you now
Hope you find peace somehow
It was then when he wrote
Pretty soon hey boy die
Then he wrote down his story
That was deep in his eyes
I be three years old
Brother's hammer in head
When I'm bleeding and crying
Couldn't hear what he said
Help me mama
I'm falling on ground
Am I dead now
I can't hear a sound
Hey mama
Please help me
I'm crying but can't speak a sound
He lived down the street
With his missy Jane
And now he won't write
His story again
The winter of his life
Has come and gone
But his memory of spring
Lives on and on
They said hey boy
Quit loafing about
You've got work to do boy
We won't help you out
What's that tear boy
I can't help you now
Hope you find your peace
Mama
I'm falling on ground
Am I dead now
I can't hear a sound
Hey mama
Please help me
I'm crying but can't speak a sound
